With a passion for the arts and creatures great and small, Frida Pendragon is the swashbuckling seamstress of the Straw Hat crew! Her dream is to traverse the Grand Line and beyond, find the great Sea Kings and creatures of myth, and not only create a fashion line inspired by the beasts she encounters on her journey (her brand name is Beast Coast 🐉), but also to weave a magnificent tapestry of her adventures with her crew newfound family, and the beasts she finds along the way to fulfill her childhood dreams of discovering new species, and sailing a free world ♡ 🌊🐠🐬🦑🦈🐋🐉
She’s a member of the East Blue Crew, jumping aboard after the crew (made up at that point of just Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji) dock on Songbird Island looking for supplies. Their adventure begins after Nami, flabbergasted by the prices of bare essential goods on the island, decides to take matters into her own hands and do a bit of bartering…a small arc (that I have not fleshed out quite yet) ensues. Frida (quite literally) runs into Zoro, who is lost in the bustling center plaza, and offers him assistance in tracking down his friends. Unbeknownst to the Straw Hats, they had been followed there by Marines, who gave chase as soon as they recognized Zoro among the crowd. Frida, in the heat of the moment, follows Zoro, helping him juke the Marines, and eventually finding his friends, who quickly become hers as well. After that a bunch of craziness ensues, and in the end Frida joins the crew in search of the greater things she knows are out there ~ 🌊⛵️🏴☠️🌀🧭
(crappy lil drawing by yours truly lol<3)
Onboard the ship, Frida happily helps around with mundane tasks when she’s not patching up outfits/putting together new ones for the crew. She enjoys helping maintain general cleanliness; she assists Sanji with tidying the kitchen post-mealtime, helps Usopp in his workshop (even helps edit some of his blueprints), frequenlt cleaning up after Luffy’s constant trails of disaster, happily acting as an assistant to Chopper, just to name a few! 🧵🧶🪡🧺🧹🫧
But she’s no ordinary seamstress, of course; she’s incredibly skilled in self-defense and close-range combat, with her weapon of choice being knives (and scissors), and has since honed her skills even further by training with Zoro. ✂️🗡️
Frida's personality is very heavily based on Rapunzel from Tangled !!! she's kind-hearted, bubbly, a bit naive but strong willed, and would lay down her life to protect her loved ones, and make sure they feel loved and cared for. "Ohana means family" vibes <3

Frida’s feelings for Zoro gradually blossom throughout their pre-timeskip adventures, something she becomes aware of around the time that the Straw Hats arrive in Alabasta, all the way to Enies Lobby when, after a long, emotional, tumultuous fight, they seal their war against the government (and any Water 7/Enies Lobby angst lol) with a dramatic kiss.
At first she’s afraid to get in Zoro’s way - of distracting or otherwise hurting him and throwing him off his goals, so she tries to bury anything growing within her. However, her attempts at pushing it down only made her fall deeper in love, and as their days on the high seas passed by, Frida felt her yearning heart grow more desperate for his. She couldn’t deny how much he meant to her, how deep her admiration for him truly ran, and how she longed for him.
Little did she know, Zoro harbored the same conflicting emotions within himself, with him being too stubborn and inexperienced and shy to do anything about it on his own. it’s only during the high-stakes tension of Water 7 and Enies Lobby that Zoro gets a glimpse at what a life without Frida could be, and it terrifies him. he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
Post-Enies Lobby, Zorida is the resident power couple !!! On the surface, they’re super casual in the presentation of their relationship, with the most PDA being hand holding, sleeping cuddled together on deck, occasional pecks on the cheek or lips (Frida loves receiving forehead kisses in front of everyone lol), and generally always being around each other; training, eating, sleeping, talking, cloud watching, star gazing, any and everything the world throws at them is nothing compared to the pure strength of their love and adoration.
